Great day yesterday hosting the Section 8 Nordic Ski Championships! Beautiful spring skiing day. Warming temps made for tougher conditions for the racers, snow and base held out great other than a few small exposed areas. Nice job to everyone who competed.

Froze down hard last night and the trails are icy this morning. Slow to warm up today and we are in full spring skiing mode. We will be grooming on skaters waltz and north loup mid day. We will be erasing the one track on North Loup adding a skate lane. Other classic trails have good tracks, timing is critical for best skiing during spring conditions. Generally 11-2 is the “sweet spot” skiing. Outside of this time frame, fast and icy before, slower and damp after. Again, things can change quick one way or another. We plan to have the trails open through the weekend. There will be some thin spots etc. Use caution, good attitude there is some great skiing to be had for a few more days.

Trails are open for day use. All day and season passes for non overnight guests must be purchased online through the website. (click here) We are closed for the season for lodging and meal packages.
